Pain Relief for My Dog
This product was recommended by my vet, and the generic equivalent provided by VetRxDirect has provided a big boost to my 14 1/2-year-old lab/mutt. She's able to get around easier, limps less, and the customer service in locating the generic equivalent has been great.
Most Liked Negative Review
I will not buy Meloxidyl again.
Meloxidyl is generic form of Medacam for joint pain. I tried for my Yorkie because it was much cheaper than Medacam. My Yorkie couldn't take the Meloxidyl. It gave her diarrhea.

This med helps my senior dog and is affordable too!
From UndisclosedComments about Meloxidyl (meloxicam) 1.5mg/mL Oral Suspension 10mL BottleI love that they have many generic meds. Being a foster mom with a no kill dog rescue that is struggling during the Covid pandemic, is killing our pocket books, so this helps alot. We are a 501C non profit so we ONLY work on donations which have been reeeally slim to none, plus we can't do public events to raise money either, so this helps alot. Service is courteous ad fast shipping too. This medication was for my 15 year old senior Buddie boy. It helps him with his front leg arthritis pain.Thanks!-

Relief from joint pain
From UndisclosedComments about Meloxidyl (meloxicam) 1.5mg/mL Oral Suspension 200mL BottleWe have a 12 year old black lab who weighs 91 pounds. Most of his life he was around 100 pounds. His hips and joints have been achy and since using Meloxicam he can move around better, especially when getting up and down. Easy to measure and squirt onto his food.-

Can I use Benazepril with Meloxicam? Are there any drug interactions? Or is there a website that I can do a drug interaction for dog medicine??
-
Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of pain, inflammation, and osteoarthritis in dogs. Benazepril is an ACE Inhibitor used to treat heart failure, high blood pressure, and some forms of kidney disease in dogs and cats. According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, the use of NSAIDs and ACE Inhibitors could potentially increase the risk for kidney toxicity and/or reduce efficacy of the ACE inhibitor (benazepril) in animals with heart or kidney disease. Close veterinary monitoring is advised with the use of these medications together. Please consult your veterinarian with any further questions or concerns regarding the use of these medications for your dog.

Our dog is a 14 yr old 7 lb Pappilon with spine and hip arthritis. Out vet gave us Metacam 0.5 mg/ml. While on vacation we ran out and a vet in Texas gave us Meloxidyl 1.5 mg/ml. My question is, are these two comparable dosage wise ?? Thank you !!?
-
Meloxicam suspensions are most commonly sold in two strengths. One contains 0.5 milligrams of meloxicam in each milliliter (0.5mg/mL), such as your bottle of Metacam. The second contains 1.5 milligrams of the active ingredient of meloxicam in each milliliter (1.5mg/mL), such as your bottle of Meloxidyl. One milliliter of the 1.5mg/mL meloxicam suspension would have the same amount of meloxicam as three milliliters of the 0.5mg/mL meloxicam suspension. Please contact your veterinarian to discuss exactly how much of your current bottle your pet should receive and how often.

My german shepherd was given the pill meloxicam 7.5 for pain which he has hip dysplasia. He now weighs 110lbs and had to stop the pill cause it was too strong of a dose. The vet said about putting my shep on an oral form but it costs over 100.00. I don't know how big the bottle or dosage was. Can I use this product if I talk to my Vet??
-
Meloxidyl comes in 10, 32, 100, and 200 ml bottles. The concentration of each is 1.5 mg/ml. Meloxicam is usually dosed at 0.1 mg/kg once daily. For your dog the dose would be approximately 5 mg which would be about 3.3 ml once daily. A dose of 3.3ml once daily a 100ml bottle would last 30 days. A 200ml bottle would last 60 days. Thank you, VetRxDirect
